Are you sure that wasn't just a straight up DEC (EEC) failure?
I've had APR trigger for no obvious reason on the CRJ200 and it was not that big a deal. I've also seen it in a light 757 where that sort of thing is a bigger deal because you've got your hands on a whole lot of power. In both cases the engines responded to throttle inputs.
With this recent accident, did they try other methods of shutting the engines down, like the Fire Handle / Button ?
